Sullivan: Masks don't prevent the spread of Covid-19

 Now that the CDC is dropping mask mandates, at least for those who are fully vaccinated, I hope this will be the last thing I write on masks.  William Sullivan has a piece today at the American Thinker entitled Time For Modern Masking Madness to be Cast in the Dustbin of History. Sullivan makes a pretty compelling case that masks have done nothing to stop the spread of the virus. He points out that the "elites" who have imposed masks on the public can hardly back down now. But the evidence is pretty clear.

And we have been here before.  One hundred years ago, the Spanish Flu (back then it was ok to name it the Spanish flu becase thats where it was thought to originate) was a real pandemic, with millions dying from (as opposed to just with) the disease.

Long before Fauci’s ridiculous reversal from consensus toward the limits of absurdity, uncountable numbers of American scientists correctly concluded, having the benefit of decades of data mounting for over a century, that wearing a mask for the benefit of feeling safe from viral spread was useless.

As John M. Barry writes in The Great Influenza: The Story of the Deadliest Pandemic in History, there were attempts to normalize mask wearing back in 1918, with masks “positioned at stores alongside everyday things” like “tobacco” and “mustache grooming” supplies. But “the grim truth persisted,” he concludes, which is that “the masks worn by millions were useless as designed and could not prevent influenza,” because “only preventing exposure to the virus” could do that.

While we might be seeing new developments today that didn’t exist during the Spanish flu epidemic of 1918, such as a corporate, technocratic oligarchy working hand-in-hand with politburos to suppress any information contrary to what are deemed the politically acceptable “scientific” conclusions, much of what we’re witnessing is just a bit of history repeating.

Needless to say, masks didn't work to prevent the spread of Spanish Flu and it doesn't work today to stop the spread of the Chinese Flu. Sullivan shows us graph after graph that show the uselessness of masks in preventing the spread of the disease. And to those who say we must "do something," sometimes the only thing we can do is pray, which is alsays a good idea anyway. Keeping your distance when reasonable, washing your hands, these are also always a good idea. Beyond that, we just have to pray, and have faith.
